With the expenses of the town re-
duced nearly 40 per cent. the past year
it would really seem as though St.
Johnsbury might afford to make need
ed improvements in its poor house. 1t
looks as though the people might yet
be driven to take up a private cOllec-
ton to put heating apparatus into the
chambers and to put the building into
proper sanitary condition. st. Johns
bury is likely to get Il lot of unsavory
advertising out of this business before
anybody moves in it.

The Joke Put Oh the LAWYER.

Leslie Coombs, great friend of Henry
Clay and popular stump speaker, used to
tell good story about Counsellor Higgins
He was exceedingly adroit in defending u
prisoner, and would sometimes almost laugh
down an indictment for small offence A
fellow Zone Smith,) being ON trial for stealing
u turkey, the counsellor attempted to give
good-natured turn to the affair. "Why, gen
tlemen of the jury" said he "this is really
small affair; wonder any one would bring
such complaint into court if VIC are going
on at this rate we shall have business enough
on our hands. Why, recollect when was
at college nothing was more common than
to go out foraging. We did not get the poultry
too often in the same place, and there was no
harm done, no fault found" Notwithstand.
ing this appeal the jury convicted the prison
er. After the court rose one of the Jury,
plain old farmer, meeting tho counsellor, COM
plimented his ingenuity in the defence And
now, Squire" said he, fixing knowing
look upon him, 81 should like to ask you a
question. Which road do you take going
home, the upper or the lower ?""The lower"
replied the counsellor. "Well, then, it don't
matter. was only going to observe that l
had better jog along toward home and lock
up my chicken coop"

About Gambrinus.

The popular legend of Gambrinus is as
follows: Gambrinus was fiddler, who, being
Tilted by his sweetheart, went out in the
woods to hang himself He was sitting on
a limb, with cord around his neck, prepare
tory to taking the fatal leap, when suddenly
q tall man in green coat appeared before him
and offered bis services. He might become
as wealthy as he liked, and make his sweet
heart burst with vexation at her own folly,
but in thirty years he must give up his soul
to Beclzebub. The bargain was struck, for
Gambrinus thought thirty years was long
time to enjoy ones self, and perhaps the devil
might get him at any event--as well be hung
for sheep as lamb. Aided by Satan, he
invented Ginning bells and lager beer, for
both of which achievements he is held in
grateful remembrance by the Teutons. No
sooner had the holy Roman Emperor Quaffed
gallon or two of this new beverage than
he made Gambrinus Duke of Brabrant and
Count of Flanders, and then it was the fid-
dler's turn 10 laugh at the discontinue of
his old sweetheart. Gambrinus kept clear
of women, says the legend, and so lived in
peace For thirty years he sat beneath the
beltry chimes, medtatvely drinking beer,
with his mobiles and burghers around him.
Then Beelzebub sent Jocko, one of his imps,
with orders TO bring Gambrinus before mid
night. But Jocko was, like Swiveler's
marchioness, ignorant of the taste of beer,
never having drank Of it, even in sip, and
the Flemish shopper were too much for him.
He fall into drunken sleep, and did not
awake until next day, at which he was 80
mortified that he had not the face to go
back to hell at all. So Gambrinus lived in
tranquility ip century or two, and drank
so much beer that he turned into beer bar

A Grand Thanksgiving.

| That vas memorable Thanksgiving
when, in the carly spring of 1903, Column
bus returned from his first voyage of discoy-
| cry to Palos, and fastened TO meet the Span
sh sOvereigDs at Barcelona. Columbus was
| IL man of faith. God made me the messenger
of the new heavens and the new earth" he
said in his old age, land told me where to find
them" 1t was this patriarchal faith that
inspired him to weight the earth, and to travel
the unknown seas.
Palos throbbed with excitement as the
banner of the cross and crown of Columbus
rose above the wave, and streamed into the
harbor. The bells rang. On landing Columbus
and his crew went 10 the principal church,
accompanied by the whole population, and
offered up solemn thaDksgivings for the sue
cess of the expedition.
Columbus FASTENED to Barcelona to meet
the Court. His journey was triumphal
march.
1t was in the middle of April, the month
of nightingales and flowers. Columbus en-
tered the city amid music, bells and shouts
of triumph. Ferdinand and Isabella, seated
under superb canopy, received him as
vceroy rather than an imiral, and request
cd him to relate to them the history of his
voyage. He did SO, surrounded by the In
dams whom be had brought with him, with
their gay plums, and offerings OF tropic birds
and fruits
AS he ended his wonderful narrative there
arose a burst of music, and bore away to
heaven the thoughts of the soveregns and
mobiles and people, already thrilled and melt
ed by the most marvellous tale ever told of
human achievement.
1t was the chapel-choir of Isabella.
"Wepraise Thee, oh, God; we acknowledge
Thee to be the Lord; all the earth doth wor-
ship Thee, the Father everlasting"
The majestic Latin hymn swept on until it
reached the sublime words:
"Holy, holy, Lord God of hosts, heaven
and earth arc full of the majesty of Thy
glory"
The great audience was filled with ecstatc
devotion. 1t was, perhaps the most happy
moment of Columbus's life-ths first thanks
giving for the new world Youths Compan-
ion. :

Fresh Flowers in Winter.

Choose some of the most powerful buds of
the flowers you wish to preserve, such as are
latest in blowing, and ready TO open; cut
them off with Il pair of scissors, leaving to
each, ifpossble, piece of the stem three
inches long cover the stem Immediately with
sealing wax, and when the buds are little
shrunk and wrinkled wrap ench of them up
separately in piece of paper perfectly clean
and dry, and lock them up in a dry box or
drawer, and they will keep without corrupt
ing.
In winter, or any other time, when you
would have the flowers blow, take the buds
at night and cut off the end OF the stem seal
ed with wax, and put the buds into water,
wherein little nitre or salt has been diffus-
ed and the next day you will have the pleas
ure of seeing the buds open and expand them
selves, and the flowers display their most
lovely colors and breathe their agreeable
odors

Value of a Kind Voice.

There is no power of love so hard to get
and keep as II kind voice. A kind hand is
deaf and dumb 1t may be rough in flesh
and blood, yet do the work of soft heart
and do it with a soft touch. But there is no
one thing that love SO much needs as sweet
voice to tell what it means and feels and it
is hard TO get and keep it in the right tone.
One must start in youth, and be ON the
watch night and day, at work and play, to
time the thoughts of kind heart 1t is often
in youth that one gets voice or a tone that
is sharp, and sticks to him through life, and
stirs up illwill and grief and falls like a drop
of gall ON the sweet joys of home. Watch it
day by day as pearl Of great price, for it
will be worth more to you in days to come
than the best pearl hid in the sea. A
kind voice is to heart what light is to the
eye 1t is light that sings as well as shines.

For The 1E0iS and intelligence
THANKSGIVING DAY.

Oh! Cease from work, ye sons of toll.
And, looking back upon the year,
Enjoy the products of the soil;
And casting of your care and fear,
Give thanks to that Almighty Hand
That showers His blessings on our land.
For what Is health and what is life.
But from our Father and our God2
And what is peace from worldly strife
But in obedience to His word -?
He deigns our humble wants to know,
His Blessed Bible tells us so.
No sparrow to the ground can fall
Except He knoweth of the dead:
He knows our hearts, our secrets all,
He counts the hairs upon our head,
Come let us with one joyful voice,
Praise God, and in His love rejoice!
Give thanks. Oh, all We sons of earth,
Pour out your praise toward the throne
In Him we live, He gave us birth,
And He indeed, is God alone.
How sweet to think He knows our need
That on His mama we may feed.
oh God, we trust alene In Thee.
The fullness of the earth Is Thine,
In Thee is Peace and Liberty,
For Thou art Holy and Divine.
Thou art Spirit from above,
And all Thine attributes are Lore.

MANY MEN EMPLOYED.

The State of the Business of Two of
Concerns-New Haven Clock Com.
pany and Holcomb's Carriage shops.
Business at the New Haven clock shop is
brisk, and has been in the same
state for the past few months. All the hands
are working full time in the different depart
ments. A large order has been received and
work commenced on from the Western Union
Telegraph company for switch board appara-
fuses. This class of work, though being out
of the usual line of business, is not objection
able, as the concern can turn out almost any
class of brass work from their fully equipped
brass department. The new building the
company has had in course of erection for
some time past is approaching completion,
and will be devoted exclusively to some por-
ton or department of the concerns work.
One hundred men are employed steadily at
Holcomb & Co.'s large new carriage shop re-
Gently erected. The carriage bodies and
wheels are made at the Fair Haven shop of
the company and then brought to the new
shop where the carriages are finished. The
new shop is one of the largest mandatory
buildings erected in the city for years. 1t is
situated on Franklin, Water and Coils
streets and is three stories high. Business is
quite brisk with the concern. The carriage
business is not driving in this city at this
time of the year, and much work is being
built in hopes of having orders for it in the
spring.
